I don't know the correct vocabulary for this in english, but what basically happens is that the dishthingie makes the surface of the water become more unstable.

Even tho he's Australian!
I love inbreds from insualr countries that dont know the difference between a British accent and an Australian.
You need to get out more mate, maybe get a passport and travel outside the states.

| you can forgive an american for not knowing all our dialects, we get barraged with american sitcoms, films and tv shows so we know all their different dialects but all they know is our cambridge accent, whenever there is a brit in a us show they speak like a right prick, thats not how we talk! its just one area of the country! |

Actually they dont fund them, they buy the whole concept and license then they produce and sell the products and get filthy rich. We sold off a fuckload of stuff to the americans, and a shitload of weapon technology. Everything from the infamous Aimpoint sights to mines, rockets and RPG's, most of the weapon stuff is produced on license by the U.S but the aimpoint i think they bought completely many years ago... We had a program on the TV here weeks ago with alot of criticism on just how neutral we really are as a nation, since we sell and produce alot of weapons to nations who are at war. According to the interviews they made with high ranking officals in the states they see sweden as a brother in arms so to speak... No news to me though, i always known about the weapon deals we've made with different countries and one does raise the question of how neutral we really are. |

Water molecules are very sticky. They have a strong attraction to other water molecules. In the center of a glass of water, the molecules are sticking to other water molecules in all directions.
The water molecules beside your finger suddenly stick to the soap molecules instead of each other. The other water molecules on the surface are still pulling and the water at the edges is still pulling, but the water in the center is not pulling back. The surface molecules and the pepper sat on the surface are all pulled quickly to the sides. |

| said in another way. soap makes the surface tension of the water much smaller. This is one of the reasons it works as soap, since it then can get into all the cracks. Plain water is does not have a flat surface. Because of the surface tension, it actually curves a bit and is higher at the middle than at the edges. So when the surface tension is lowered by the soap, the water on the surface falls out to the edges so it makes a more flat surface, and the pepper follows it, since it is on the surface. |

I only answer this because i really fucking dislike people who call others for fucking morons all the time, especially when they're rowing in circles themselves.
Here's some little history of electricity.
http://www.codecheck.com/pp_elect.html
Dr. william gilbert was english if one wonders in the text. I read alot of scientific history in my days so... If you're looking for someone who made HUGE and i mean gigantic fucking steps in the field of electricity, i recommend you check up on Nickola Tesla who was from hungary i think, a cheer genius on his field.
The history of the computer is somewhat ellusive however, as some of the first ones who were made was mechanical. After that, when we are speaking of the modern kind of computer. It's really what one would call a global achievement, since the foundation for the computerparts of today are an assembly of devices that were developed and discovered by several scientist from all over the world. The british were a major benefactor on this area since the IC circuit, or "Integrated circuit" was first concieved by a brit in 1909.
I could continue forever, but my end point is that.. Most if not all finished products or machines etc etc today are all existent thanks to scientists around the world... All you need to do is to open up a few books, go through the words in them and learn. |

you dumb stupid limey faggot... read this :
Professor John Atanasoff and graduate student Clifford Berry built the world's first electronic-digital computer at Iowa State University between 1939 and 1942. The Atanasoff-Berry Computer represented several innovations in computing, including a binary system of arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative memory, and a separation of memory and computing functions.
from : http://inventors.about.com/library/blcoindex.
htm
and:Well, no one really "invented" electricity, but you can ask who discovered it. While people have known about the powerful effects of lightning for thousands of years, the first person to discover that lightning was a naturally occuring form of electricity was Benjamin Franklin. In 1752, during a dangerous electrical storm, Franklin flew a kite that had a metal key at the bottom of the string. When a bolt of lightning hit the kite, a spark of electricity flew from the key! From this experiment, Franklin invented the lightning rod, which attracts lightning and draws it into the ground. This saves many buildings from burning down.
therefore he discovered electricity, allowing Tesla to make his stupid coil.. if not for Franklin (an american) we would be lighting our houses with torches... now suck my balls |
My my my, some people are really getting personal when they debate with people. And as i have learnt, violence and profanities is the last resort of a limited mind... I tend to get that proven to me time after time.
For the record im no limey, im swedish.
And actually.. The first computer was the british ENIAC "Colossus" who appeared during WWII to break the german enigma codes.
http://www.acsa2000.net/colossus_home_page.ht
m
"A team headed by Tommy Flowers spent ten months (early February to early December 1943) designing and building Colossus at the Post Office Research Station, Dollis Hill, in northwest London. After a functional test on 8 December 1943, Colossus was dismantled, shipped north to Bletchley Park, and assembled in F Block over Christmas 1943. The Mark 1 succeeded in its first test against a real enciphered message tape in January 1944.[1] It was followed by nine Mark 2 Colossus machines, the first being installed in June 1944, and the original Mark I machine was converted into a Mark 2. An eleventh Colossus was essentially finished at the end of the war."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_compute
r
But still my point was.. That the parts that makes up the computers are all in themselves seperate parts, that's been developed by different scientists over the world. It goes for the majority of todays machines, products etc etc.
And yeah, most all people know of franklin and his kite. And it's widely acknowledged that he discovered electricity. And im not arguing which country has done most or least or who was first and blah blah. All countries have had brilliant heads who have made discoveries in many many fields, but most discoveries or inventions that's been made have seen the light when scientists have learned from each other, and worked together.
Electricity is one of those fields which has seen a multitude of nationalities contributing to what we have today. And that goes for computers as well, the ones we are sitting with right now have been refined through the decades by many scientists of many nationalities. Many who moved to the states to work... The IC circuit was one of those developments that made it possible to shrink the computers significantly to todays standard. Before that they used Radio bulbs and a shitload of transistors which made the computer into a "colossal" size.. The IC is just an example made by someone else than an american who made it possible to produce much much much smaller computers and electronical components.
All i was pointing out as i said was, virtually everything is not thanks to one nation. But to many people in many nations. |

Get a bowl of milk. Add a few drops of different colors of food coloring. Add a drop of liquid dish soap.
The soap will slowly swirl the milk, slowly mixing the colors. Some nice effects, like sudden explosions of new colors, that last a long time. |

Actually from what i have read though, the first computer was built in england by Sir thomas flower in the 30's. As i mentioned above it was codenamed Colossus and was kept a secret for a long period of time as it was used to crack the german codes in WWII... The timeline of the U.S / English computer seems to be very much the same. Almost as if the both teams were working together on distance from what i read. |

As far as I can tell the first true computer was the German "Turing Machine" 1937 but if you're talking stored programme system it was the Manchester SSEM 1948. As for mechanical, it has to be the Antikythera from 80BC (clever these Greeks). Did you know that in 1973 a courtcase decided that Mauchly's ENIAC plagiarised Atanasoff's ABC. That must have royally pissed of our Yankee brothers. |

| It doesn't matter if an invention was made in Europe or America, the real awesomeness is that probably around 98% of the worlds inventions and discoveries were by white people and the other 2% were only able to do what they did by learning the white mans knowledge. We rock |

You obviously dont know much about the achievements in asia, and middle east way before it got fucked up to todays standards. The muslims/arabs of today might very well be the whackiest fucking bunch around, but there was a time when they were one of the leading civilizations on the planet. And they laid the foundation for many many many things. The written word, paper and glass to mention a few things came from the east.. Many things has also been discovered by one people and the knowledge has been forgotten, only to be re-descovered by another people.
It's a complex picture to puzzle together when it comes to discoveries made by ethnic groups to be honest... The truth is that the harsh conditions that the people in europe had to cope with a couple of 1000 years ago and more, forced our people to prioritize survival before science. So most of the knowledge at the time was spread, and came from the mediterranian areas such as greece, rome. Who in turn had gotten and given knowledge to the people eastward... The people such as the greeks who are probably the most famed for discoveries in the ancient world lived in a climate, which weren't as harsh, and had the right climate for people to turn to science in a larger scale.. Our climate however required that food was collected during the spring, so one could survive the winter.
But sure enough, as things became increasingly better here. The science took giant leaps ahead... But one shouldnt forget, that there are still many many inventions that are based on old discoveries well before we europeans began our own researches and technological achievements... 98% is beyond ignorant to claim if one doesnt have enough checkup on history in the area. |

Carl is right in most of what he says i still think he is a FBI guy because he knows to much i don't need to criticize him (watch out what you say !!!)
One thing i wanted to add to someone that said that white people did 86% or something cant find it anymore :/
If you think that people with a certain color, in some reason, have a more intelligent brain, because of skin pigment ?!?
please prove it if you can because i like to see alternative science
and for science i will just have to mention a few achievements from China, Islam and India, to point out a phew empires.
these qoutes are from websites if you want them ask me i just dont like too much links in a post
The Islamic Empire:
"Did you know that the Arabic word for mosque is Jami' and the Arabic for university is Jami'a? A thousand years ago the first universities emerged within mosques where religion and science sat comfortably side by side.
Building on knowledge from Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese and Indian Civilisations, Muslims developed a learning culture where enquiring minds searched for truths based on scientific rigour and experimentation. In almost every field of knowledge, Muslims made new inventions and discoveries with practical outcomes that helped develop society.
Muslim charitable institutions provided the first scholarships to support students.Courses were difficult and medicine was particularly gruelling, and just like in universities today, examinations were long and difficult."
Note that it says that they took from the past and developed it, the same happened in the present day west, we took from the east and developed it alone, because we are the sole powerful race at the present which isn't said with any racism its as in super power country they come and go that's it.
Ancient India:
"Science and technology in ancient India covered all the major branches of human knowledge and activities, including mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, medical science and surgery, fine arts, mechanical and production technology, civil engineering and architecture, shipbuilding and navigation, sports and games.
The nineteenth-century British historian, Grant Duff, claimed that "Many of the advances in the sciences that we consider today to have been made in Europe were in fact made in India centuries ago"
Ancient China:
""Chinese Science and Culture" was a sketch of a global history of science and technology which emphasized China as the source of many of the prerequisite technologies of modernity-- printing, the compass, gunpowder, cast iron, and so on-- and discussed the historical and intellectual contexts of Chinese empirical and theoretical knowledge of the physical world. It was basically an effort to dismantle the assumption that there is something essentially "Western" about science and technology.
A common stereotype is that the Chinese traditionally lack scientific and technological ability, although, somehow, they stumbled upon paper making, printing, gunpowder, and the mariner's compass. Modern Chinese, themselves, sometimes are surprised to realize that modern agriculture, shipping, astronomical observatories, decimal mathematics, paper money, umbrellas, wheelbarrows, multi-stage rockets, brandy and whiskey, the game of chess, and much more, all came from China."
note that Chinese people are supposedly seen as backwards and unscientific which is just an obviously lie look up their history the Romans where begging them for technology and they refused to give them in the end the west stole the technology (silk) |

I was speaking of the time before christianity had reached our borders though. At the height of the roman, greece and the arab empires. We were a people that was living in accordance to nature and more reasonable religion. Such as that of the american indians.... People today might think that the heathens and "barbarians" of europe was a dumb bunch of iliterate unintelligent people. Which was far from the truth.. In fact many germanic chieftans held highranking offical positions within the roman empire at the later part of the empire. Such as the more known gothic kings Alaric and Theodric... We have written works from the viking age as well known as "Havamál" which contains alot of common sense, reason and advices of social behaviour... But we were mostly depended on trade and gather food to survive, so the advances made in technology and science in europe at that time was more practical rather than luxerous. Most of the technology made was into the Seafaring, agricultural, weaponry bit. There are alot of things that is still a bit of a mystery in technologies made in those days.. The vikings for instance had a solarcompass to guide their way over the open seas, to england, america and greenland. They also produced steel which was unknown until a decade or so ago.
But yeah the ignorant church did indeed offically hold back alot of the science in the middleages from the people, for self interest. They always worked to keep peoples minds uneducated and supressed, and instead wanted them to be superstitious... A dumb flock is easier to control as is well known.
However the highest cardinals and the popes enjoyed alot of the scientific progress themselves, even if they came from "heathens and barbarians". And they allowed scientists to work on many fields of science, again for personal interests... One can easily see the difference in living standards when comparing the common folk and the church people in those days... On one side, the common people did all the work and dying, and when they didnt, they were in church or was reguraly visited by priests to keep their "faith". So not to fall to blasphemy... And on the other side, the rich, schooled and intellectual people was working primarily for the gain of their own social class. Which was allowed as long as their alligence was with the church, if they weren't they were ex-communicated or "gotten rid off" with the good old witchcraft accusation...
It is known from the time in books and such, from what many scientists and thinkers has written in diaries, notes or with subtle hints in works. That shows that these learned men was very prone to disbelief in christianity, and instead seemed to believe more in the soul and perhaps a afterlife... This was surely known by the church, but they were depended on these scientists and intellectuals to provide what they needed... Which was basically military technology, and production of luxerous items for self-comfort. And least but certainly not last, books and books of scientific theories and intellectual works.
Leonardo da vinci for example was one of those universal geniuses that was allowed to work on what was officially "witchcraft" or "Devil worship". He was allowed to proceed and conduct experiments and science. However he was very much controlled by the church and was used by the king who wanted to use his knowledge for military purposes... He was one of the few people ever known in those church days who actually performed autopsies on dead bodys in order to learn about the bodily functions, something that later doctors and physicist drew a great deal of knowledge from. It wasent until it was talked about outside his workplace that he was forbidden by the church to proceed with his autopsy activities.. But he was never condemned to death for witchcraft as any other common person at the time surely would have been.
The church never really held back science completely. They just let the "controlled scientists" who had been lucky to be born in a fine family and been schooled, to keep working on science and technology... Most of the achievements which was deemed as a possible threat to the faith, was kept only to the in the upper branch of society.. They did however officially ban any common folk to conduct any practice in science, which of course limited the overall progress in technology and science.
Have a nice read and dont forget the donouts and the coffee if you going to have the energy to get through this one

FBI guy ? lol! ... Yeah you got me, my work is to flag anyone who can be seen as a potential terrorist. Keywords like bomb, and the usage of the word "kill" in the same sentence as president are targets for operation "depopulation".
As for intelligent brains. I think those develop and depend more on social, cultural and religious upbringing and subjection... Skin pigment is the result of micro evolution as everything else. It's a result of a peoples habitat for centuries and more in a certain climate. But fact is that different people differ more than in just the pigment. Asians, arabs, africans, slavic and germanic people all have different looks. And we have differences in the craniums, this is taboo to speak of these days as it is deemed racist... Personally i see that as an ignorant and deliberate way of denying facts. Just like the church once did.. The antroplogists have for a long time measured skulls of long since dead people in order to determine the ethnicity in a certain people. And if one isnt completely blind, you can easily spot the difference between a european and an african at a glance. The nosebone is a dead giveaway, as the european have a high visible narrow nosebone, as opposed to the african which have a very short and broad one. Facial forms are depended on the features of the skull so, it is really more than just pigment that seperate different peoples.
Intelligence as well as mentality is a completely different part of it all though which i wont go into, as this essay is longer than usual... I think and write to fast
Im so getting the nerd label for this one
